Overall Satisfaction with Thinkific
Before this pandemic and work from home or teaching on Zoom, I wanted to create an online course. Having an online system and teaching online are two different animals here. One leading online via Zoom means you are teaching face to face in real-time. While Thinkific, it's all Asynchronous.
There are pros and cons to both formats, but asynchronous is much easier to deal with learners in some parts. I found Thinkific an easy platform to get up to speed and running in no time at all. As long as you have the course outline, curriculum, or material, it will be a snap. If you don't, expect a bit of a climb.
- Community forum
- Online tutorials and videos
- Free account to try it
- Themes could be updated, a bit dated
- Better user usability experience with the interface
- Because I am on the free plan, the ROI is fantastic!
- Udemy for Business, Teachable, Moodle, Open LMS (formerly moodlerooms), Moodle Workplace, Canvas, WordPress, Adobe Captivate Prime, Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, Google Classroom and TalentLMS
Overall, if I had the choice, Thinkific would be one of the tools in using an online course for instructors and private institutions. The higher-tiered plan is a bit steep for contractor instructors who may need to pay for it themselves to show the course would be a good course for the school to create. The free 3-course is helpful without the bells and whistles. The free program offers you to create three courses and keep all the profit from selling your courses minus a small transaction fee that won't break the break.
